SHADE FOR BURNERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,668, dated February 12, 1889.

Application filed June 21, 1888. Serial No. 277,764. (No model.)

ILLIAM J. STRATTON, both of the city of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Shade for Burners, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The invention has for its object toprovide a shade for gas or lamp burners, but especially for the latter, of the pivoted or swinging form, and against which the flame will not impinge when the burner is inclined from the vertical position.

To this end the invention consists in the novel construction of shade hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of one of our improved shades, shown in. connection with a night-light adapted for use with a gas-burner.

Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof; and Fig. 3 is a front elevation, partly in section, of a portion of the bracket and lens.

In the drawings, represents a hollow post or socket adapted to be received on any ordinary gas-burner, 2, to the upper end of which socket is connected, by means of a swing-joint or gas-joint, 11, a lensframe, 13, the gasbracket 12 being provided with a burner, l 2,

of the usual form.

Thus far the parts are described and .illusthrough which the light from the burner 12 is conducted to the lens, carried by the lensframe 13.

Vith this construction, when the burnerbracket, and with itthe shade, is turned at an angle to the usual burner, 2, the flame will not impinge against the shade, as would be the case were the shade circular in cross-section throughout.

The shade 15 is preferably provided with a holder consisting of two arms, 18 and 19, of wire, which are carried by the shade, the outer ends of said arms being formed at their free endsthe one with a rigid ring, 18, and the other with an aligning-coil, 19above the ring 18, and slightly smaller than the said ring.

The ring 18" is of a less diameter than the lower enlarged part of the gas-burner 12, and the coil 19 is of less diameter than the upper end of the burner. The twoserve to steady the shade, and the coil being yielding holds the shade tightly on the burner.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, with a shade formed with an elliptical top and provided at one side with a funnel-shaped ray-conductor, of a wire coil or ring carried by the shade and adapted to receive a burner-tip, substantially as described.

2. The combination, with a shade formed with an elliptical top and provided at one side with a funnel-shaped ray-conductor, of the holder consisting of a ring and an aligning coil, both being supported from and carried by the shade, substantially as described.
